Number One Game Designer

Chapter 35 We Are Not Dark Horses

Seeing Qian Shasha's narrow expression, Fang Xi had a headache.

Let's go back to the day when the salary increase was announced. At that time, Fang Xi invited everyone in the company to go off work to have a happy time. At that time, everyone in the company attended the dinner, except for two people: Fang Xi and Lu Wanqi.

At a general company dinner, if you are two little shrimps, it doesn't matter if you are not at this kind of party, but Fang Xi and Lu Wanqi, one is the current boss and the other is the chief (only) planner of the company, they are a proper company One of the most important people now, and why these two people didn't show up is very fascinating.

But no one dares to chew their tongues at work the next day about this kind of thing. The boss just raised your salary the day before yesterday, but the next day you were fired because of the gossip about the chairman of BB. There is no place to cry, although Fang Xi would not just fire someone for such a boring reason.

And after dinner that night, Fang Xi and Lu Wanqi seemed to have a strange relationship.

Although the two people's offices are not far away, this girl is able to avoid him in various ways. Although the distance is not far away, it is possible that they can only meet each other once a day after work. This time, Lu Wanqi will probably avoid him from a distance. open. As a result, Fang Xi is so depressed that he has nowhere to say anything. He invited Lu Wanqi to dinner as an opportunity to enhance their relationship. During the meal, the two of them also had a good chat, but after the meal, it seemed that they had returned to the previous cold war state. chu) male (nan) is simply puzzled.

Apart from these small things, Hongyi Games can be said to be thriving during this period, and "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" firmly sits on the throne of the number one online game, whether it is the retention rate, or the number of players and turnover, etc. For a while, many players sighed, is the domestic game market going to change?

Before Fang Xi came to Hongyi Games, only some fans of niche games had heard of this company.

After Fang Xi released the trailer for "Swallowing Heaven and Earth", some media predicted that this company would be a new force in the domestic game market, but most media thought that a trailer could not explain anything.

After Fang Xi announced the internal test flow of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth", most of the media began to believe that Hongyi Games has the hope of becoming a new giant in the game industry.

And it wasn't until one month after the public beta of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" that most of the media suddenly realized that Hongyi Games was neither a "new force" nor a "dark horse". Hongyi Games was now the number one winner in the online game market!

The turnover in the first week was 6.24 million!

The turnover of the next week is 4.96 million!

In the third week, the turnover rose again due to the launch of the monthly card, reaching 6.81 million!

The monthly turnover in the first week directly exceeded 23 million!

Such first month data is unmatched no matter where it is placed!

As for Fang Xi, even though he already knew that the game was bound to become a big hit, he was finally relieved until he got the real data. After all, the quality of the game is one thing, but the reaction of the market is Another thing is that in the film industry, there are weird phenomena such as "applause but not success", "received popularity but not success", and other weird phenomena, which also exist in games. Especially for online games, except for works like Fang Xi's that have been verified by the market in previous lives, other big companies like Donghuang dare not pat their chests to guarantee that their online games will not lose money.

However, these worries have nothing to do with Fang Xi now. Now Hongyi Games has not lost to the weird rules of the market, but has truly become a "popular and popular" online game legend!

So now Fang Xi is very relaxed. The revenue myth of "Swallowing the Sky and the Earth" is a solution to Hongyi's urgent need, so that this broken ship can sail again after beating and beating. The more you earn from the Kun raising game, the easier it will be for you to make new games later on.

Fang Xi even contacted Shuiran,

There is a small column on the homepage of the official website of "GAME World", reporting the income and number of players of "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" at any time.

On the one hand, this data is for players to see. The reason is the herd mentality of online games mentioned above. The more popular the game, the more players, and more players will bring higher popularity, forming a virtuous circle.

On the other hand, it is for "friends". Since the end of the internal test, "GAME World", which has a good cooperation with Fang Xi, first approached Hongyi and expressed his willingness to open a channel service. Fang Xi has nothing to do .

Many portal websites have a problem, that is, they have huge traffic, but it is difficult to monetize it. The most intuitive means of monetization is advertisement, but if there are too many advertisements, the audience’s grandpa will be angry and impatient. There are not so many thresholds for web games Yes, there is no configuration threshold. Fang Xi has set up the channel server here, and then put the game on his website and wait for leeks to come in and send money. It is a standard win-win operation.

"That is to say, now we just wait for other portals to come to our door, and then kill a ticket?"

Liu Hai made a gesture of cutting with a knife on the side.

Fang Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Are we a triad society? We still have to kill one vote... It's not necessary. This kind of relationship can be regarded as a good relationship. We just need to make up our minds. Those who have traffic will form a good relationship, and those who don't will let them Wherever it is two yuan, just stay there, after all, if they kill players heavily, it will drag down our reputation, and the gain outweighs the loss."

"Understood." Liu Hai nodded and made a stroke in the notebook. "Then the next thing, Yinling Games has spread the word and made a card-drawing game that imitated ours. It claims that it will be available after the Spring Festival and it will be completely free. How should we deal with it?"

"Can it go online after the Spring Festival?" Fang Xi sneered. If it was placed on the earth in the previous life, it would still be possible. After all, making this kind of web game in China can be regarded as a familiarity, and it is not impossible to work overtime for a month, but in this world ? Does Yinling really think that two skilled technicians can make the same game?

Thinking of this, Fang Xi shook his head: "Don't worry, just pretend they don't exist, um...help me find out who is the person in charge of their project?"

Liu Hai directly pulled out a piece of paper: "Their information was released together. The producer is Ren Xiang. He has been the main planner of two games before, and both of them have achieved good revenue. The most important thing is that they are very young now. He can be regarded as one of the most well-known young producers in China, and there should be media promoting him later, trying to package him as a star producer."

Ren Xiang, this name looks familiar, Fang Xi thought about it.

Then I thought of the negative comments about "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" on "Galaxy Games" that I saw before.

Why does it feel like I bumped into it on purpose? Fang Xi thought about it for a while, but then he threw it aside. He has no obligation to stop others who want to die, right?
